Fox News has terminated its contracts with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Sen. Rick Santorum after the deadline for them to decide on presidential bids passed on May 1, a source familiar with the move told POLITICO.

Fox suspended the two contributors in early March and stopped paying them as they mulled presidential runs, but left them the option of returning to the network. The contracts' end marks another sign that Gingrich, who has repeatedly delayed his decision citing business obligations, is in the race -- though he dropped out of tonight's Fox debate.

The network may also intensify the network's pressure on Mike Huckabee, the host of a Fox show, to make up his mind about a possible bid.

Santorum is both boring and uninformative and Newt Gingrich has zero credibility. His jumping the shark moment is when he did a debate with John Kerry on the environment and kept agreeing with John Kerry until Kerry didn't know what to say anymore and just sat there in baffled silence.

Fox News is supporting Mitt Romney. The debate tonight will be a Fox News hatched job on Tim Pawlenty by Chris Wallace.
America needs a President that is a former conservative governor that governed as a conservative. That man is Tim Pawlenty. Tim Pawlenty shows the seriousness of our times and addresses real doable solutions to our problems. Tonight, America has a chance to see Tim Pawlenty as the sincere, exceptionally intelligent, decent, patriotic and conservative leader that America desperately needs for our President.

5:10 at least you are an honest hater of the first ammendment. Too back your fellow jack booted progressives aren't as honest as you because if they were then the choice would be far clearer for the casual observer.

Barry666 you seem to developed the same tunnel vision as Fox News. Stop reading Palins tweets and get your facts straight. Yes that was something on the table, but everyone including the current and best POTUS of the century thinks it's a bad idea

Gingrich, you mean the "water carrier" for the Repubs. Time to hire real conservatives, oh......Fox can't I forgot the Saudi Prince owns 20%. Why don't they have an independent thinker like Michael Savage on? Hmmmmmmm, just one more reason Fox will see declines in their ratings.

5:14 I cannot figure out of you are stupid or if you are just under the delusion that we are stupid. Anyone who has every watched Matthews, Maddow, Shultz, Olbermann or O'Donnell on MSNBC's prime time lineup would laugh in your face if you said that to them. You are a joke.

5:28 I hope all of those tens of millions of regular viewers on FoxNews that are Republicans, Democrats and Independents all realize how stupid you think they are and how deeply you hold them in contempt. Nothing like the obtuse arrogance of the left to drive more people into our camp.

yeah...tired of Newt and Rick on Greta all the time...glad to see their pay check stopped...
now if they would just get rid of Chris Wallace...such a tired old face...and what happened to Bill (forgot his last name) but he was very tall and use to be on Saturdays and specials.???? I really liked him....

I don't believe the people on this board. Don't you remember WHO was Speaker of the House when the budget got balanced. And which branch of government that spends (or doesn't spend) the money. Its damn sure not presidents. I'll give credit to that idiot Clinton in that he was smart enough to sign the bills, but Congress did all the heavy lifting. Now we're up to our ***E$ in alligators because of the TWO of BIGGEST IDIOTS in Congressional history, Hastert and Pelosi !!!!!

This has nothing to do with Fox not wanting them on the air. It has everything to do with fairness by not having them on the air if they are running for office. You are the pimheads for thinking Fox doesn't want them. I do not see Fox declining.. Where the heck did that come from?

First of many debates that Ron Paul will schlack the other candidates on. He won't get nominated though, because of all the 'open' primary states, otherwise know as the commiecrats screw the country states!!

Good for Fox. Out: Gingrich, Santorum; also Huckabee. They have been misery for viewers. Please, no more Dana, no more Rove, no more Bush trot outs, no more neocons... also, don't start with the socialists, commies, weirdos. Careful. Fox was wrong to push/encourage Beck to be flag carrier for Israel. It stunk and viewers trashed him because of it.

Oh no! Commenter thinks that Fox supports Mitt. What kind of a name is that, anyway. Catcher's Mit. Mitchell Roam Knee is just too cute. Are There ANY Americans Out There that can carry a conversation with Ron Paul? Maybe not.
At least Trump speaks American. See you tonight in the arena.

I hope this means we won't be seeing them anymore....but they'll probably work for nothing. What else do they do?
Huckabee has to go, too. I can't watch one minute of him - and I'm a conservative. He will hang around just like he did in 2008 - he's like glue - you can't rub him off.
Romney is the ONLY one who doesn't live at FOX - what a choice we have, NOT!

I love all the stupid comments about Fox, from many of you clowns. Here's the FACTS, During the last presidential election, Fox was more neutral with it's stories than any of the other major networks, and major cable network news programs. THAT IS A FACT!!!

Now if they would just drop Beck, O'Really, and the rest of those whackjobs they might end up with a real news network. Of course they'd have to get rid of just about everybody and hire all new people.

Laughing that there are still people who call it Fox "News". All you need to know about both Fox's objectivity as a news source, and about what they think of their viewers' intelligence, is that they gave $1,000,000 to the Republican party last year. To help get their candidates elected. Candidates whose races Fox would meanwhile "report" on. And they still use that silly "Fair and Balanced" logo. How stupid do you have to think your customers are to do all of that together? The thing is, they are absolutely correct about their audience's intelligence level.

"Here's the FACTS, During the last presidential election, Fox was more neutral with it's stories than any of the other major networks, and major cable network news programs"

Do right wingers ever get tired of lying or is this yet another case of an ignorant person parroting what they heard?

In cable, the evidence firmly suggests there now really is an ideological divide between two of the three channels, at least in their coverage of the campaign.
Things look much better for Barack Obama—and much worse for John McCain—on MSNBC than in most other news outlets. On the Fox News Channel, the coverage of the presidential candidates is something of a mirror image of that seen on MSNBC.

The tone of CNN’s coverage, meanwhile, lay somewhere in the middle of the cable spectrum, and was generally more negative than the press overall.

On the evening newscasts of the three traditional networks, in contrast, there is no such ideological split. Indeed, on the nightly newscasts of ABC, CBS and NBC, coverage tends to be more neutral and generally less negative than elsewhere. On the network morning shows, Sarah Palin is a bigger story than she is in the media generally.

Mitt is locked up by the Progressive RINO money people. I predict that he will not be able to get much of the southern and midwestern vote and lose to President Obama in a landslide as true conservatives and Tea Party members abandon the FOXRoveReflubs and go it alone.
Gingrich, Huckabee, Trump, and Palin have no chance at all. Even if they jump in and roll up some impressive wins the Reflub establishment stranglehold will see to it that one of their own New World Order/Council on Foreign Relations,et al, will suddenly have their much depleted campaign coffers filled to overflowing if things start looking bad for Mitt.
While my favorite declared contenders will be dukeing out in Greenville, the Names will sit back and see who comes out on top. Then the RINO elite will chop them up like fish bait.
In reality, it is the people who are not running who are the most popular choices for Prez. Right now, the current Governor of the Great State of New Jerky is my first choice for my write-in Ballot. The Honorable Chris Christy.
My write-in choice for Vice President will definitely be Paul Ryan.
What will be especially interesting is what happens to the Reflubs, if the independants and conservative base decide to bolt the party and The President rolls up 60% of the vote against Romney. Essentially the same thing that happened when all the mystery cash fell into the hands of McCain.
Unfortunately, for us the choices are not going to be either pretty or palatable.

"BTW a Univ of Maryland study a few years ago found FoxNews viewers were 4 times as likely to believe things that were not true as viewers of other media."
Remarkably, among the untrue things ABCCBSCNNMSNBC fans believe is the above statement...

James,
Jeb BUSH has about as much of a chance to beat President Obama as a snowball has to survive in HELL!
This country is not ready for another idiot bush. The last idiot bush left a bad taste in the mouth of Americans!

Watching some of the debate tonight. t-paw said he did not want to criticize mittens because mittens was not there. But that did not stop the idiot, t-paw from criticizing our president!
AND how SOME of these idiots can say our president is NOT a leader after the big feat that happened on the week-end is BEYOND me.

Barry you are exactly right, one big game of look that way at the big story. Then we will *** rape you and your family out of every penny. This way you will all depend on Obamee, he will ride in on his black horse and save the day. All the while the welfare recipients ride high on the governments money.
We have a community organizer for a president, and retards voting.

To those making idiotic comments about GOP candidates 'dividing' the country ... NOBODY has split this country more than the current occupant of the White House ... I suggest you GROW UP, preferably soon enough that your CHILDREN might be spared your IDIOCY.

a kindergartner who can recite the pledge of allegiance is more patriotic than that muslim freak in the white house now. To quote a person I read earlier:"Not one thing that I can recall, that has been forced upon me by Obama and the democrats is intended to lower American's "Cost Of Living". Not even One Dam n Thing! And you think that this is what America needs?" See- EVIL PIGS are controlling and ruining our government. We need a big seal team 6 event in the white house and at the capital- and do not allow the aides to escape- as they are the ones drugging the Americans there...

Newt Gingrich has zero credibility. His jumping the shark moment is when he did a debate with John Kerry on the environment and kept agreeing with John Kerry until Kerry didn't know what to say anymore and just sat there in baffled silence.

Exactly. Gingrich showed his true colors there. He will never, EVER, win the nomination. That won't stop him though, he probably figures there's at least 2 more books to be sold from the process. I have zero respect left for the man, and that's a shame considering how he started out.

How could anyone hope to win against the dull, predicitible, and cliche riddled Obama? The O has a record of consistent failure now. Just today, record number of jobless! I think a cheeseburger could win vs Obama!

well for one thing who gives a rat's ass. nasty newt and sonny santorium always have to be in the spotlight. another point hannity is looking a little tired and worried these days, and i hope levine follows him in the hating of America column.

Why Rick Santorum was a Fox contributor is beyond me. Wasn't qualified for that job and he cerrtainly isn't ready to be President. Gingrich on the other hand is a great Fox contributor, but has way to much baggage to be elected president.

The network may also intensify the network's pressure on Mike Huckabee, the host of a Fox show, to make up his mind about a possible bid.

huck’s better off keeping his Foxnews gig, continuing to fool all those nice little old ladies into thinking that he is just such a dang nice preacher man.

?So nice, in fact, that huckie profited from a horrible Arkansas school shooting (blood money from writing a book about the shooting just 10 days after it happened!). Preacher man took off for the Caribbean and never gave a dime of that blood money to the dead victims’ families! Seems pretty greedy considering he was their Arkansas Governor and a preacher man to boot! Disgusting.

From the LA Times :

Huckabee book deal after school tragedy still rankles
January 26, 2008 by Richard A. Serrano

Excerpts :

“After two middle-school boys in camouflage gear shot and killed four classmates and a teacher here, leaving 10 others wounded and a community shattered, it seemed inevitable that someone would see opportunity in the tragedy for a book deal.

Indeed, within days a publisher agreed to pay $25,000 to an Arkansas writer to produce a book on youth violence.

Victims' families were outraged. They called the payment blood money and said the author was cashing in on their pain. They demanded that the money go to the school, victims' relatives or scholarships for the wounded, not to the writer's personal bank account. He refused.

That the author was Mike Huckabee, Arkansas' governor at the time, made their resentment all the stronger.

He took advantage of us," said Pam Herring, whose daughter, Paige Ann, had just turned 12 when she was shot to death.

He was out for one thing and that was money," said Mitch Wright, whose wife, Shannon, a teacher, died protecting children. "He made money at our expense."

snip

"It was all quite unseemly," Vaughn McQuary, chairman of the state Democratic Party at the time, said in a recent interview about the book contract. "The governor of a state should set a better example."

snip

"But when the book was rushed to print a month after the shootings, it was titled "Kids Who Kill." The cover is a photo of a boy about the age of the Jonesboro killers pointing a gun at the reader."

snip

"Dennis Milligan, the current chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party, who has endorsed Huckabee for the presidency, defended the governor's book deal: "He's entitled to whatever the specific profits were from that book. And as to why he didn't donate the proceeds, obviously it was something he wasn't moved to do and didn't feel like he had any obligation to contribute, with respect to his personal funds."

snip

"Huckabee was not among the 9,000 people who attended a memorial service a week later at the Arkansas State University Convocation Center in Jonesboro. Aides said he was on a planned family vacation in the Caribbean."

snip

"At a second meeting in Jonesboro, Wright said Huckabee again vowed it would be "blood money" for the shooters, with Huckabee adding this time: "No one should profit."

Then, ten days after the shooting, it was announced that Huckabee had signed his own book deal..."

snip

"Asked by a newspaper reporter at the time if he was trying to turn a dollar by capitalizing on the Jonesboro deaths, Huckabee angrily responded: "No more than you're capitalizing on it when you write stories about Jonesboro and sell ads and sell the paper.

Dogged about why he declined to donate any of the book proceeds to the scholarship fund, Huckabee said he planned to use the money for his own children's college education. Later Huckabee stayed in his private office in the Capitol in an attempt to evade further questions. Then he rushed to his state car and slammed the door on reporters."

Children, biased news reporting is as old as politics itself in this country. Instead of cable news channels there were partisan newspapers. It's just how it is. No side is purley correct. Also, at night they run OPNION shows on both nets. Liberal ones on MSNBC and conservative ones on FOX. Anyone on either side who tunes into these networks after 7pm for "journalism" should put a helmet on and read a book.
